Voy A Dar Un Pormenor

De Lo Que A Mã­ Me Ha Pasado,

Que Me Han Agarrado Preso

Siendo Un Galla Tan Jugado.



Yo Me Fui Para Agua Prieta

A Ver Quiã©n Me Conocã­a

Y A Las Once De La Noche

Me Aprehendiã³ La Policia.



Me Aprehendieron Los Gendarmes

Al Estilo Americano,

Como Un Hombre De Delito,

Todos Con Pistola En Mano.



La Cã¡rcel De Cananea

Estã¡ Situada En Una Mesa

Y En Ella Fui Procesado

Por Causa De Mi Torpeza.



Despedida No La Doy

Porque No La Traigo Aquã­

Se La Deje Al Santo Niño

Y Al Señor De Mapimi.



Ballad Of Cananea



I'm Going To Detail

What Happened To Me,

That They Have Taken Me Prisoner

Being A Well Played Rooster.

(Even Though I've Been Around And

Should Have Known Better.)



I Went To Agua Prieta

To See If I Had A Reputation There

And At 11:00 At Night

The Police Apprehended Me.



They Arrested Me

In The American Style,

As Though I Were A Criminal

All Of Them With Pistol In Hand.



The Jail Of Cananea

Is Situated On A Plateau

And In It I Was Processed

On Account Of My Stupidity.



I Give You No Farewell

For I Don't Have It With Me

Leave It To The Holy Child

And To The Lord Of Mapimi.
